As a physics major, it feels like I spend the majority of my waking life solving problems. I’ve calculated the amount of water you get from mixing different ratios of steam and ice, the path of ...

Google updated its search engine and Lens tool with new features to help you visualize and solve problems in more difficult subjects like geometry, physics, trigonometry and calculus. The update ...

For decades scientists have been trying to solve Feynman's Sprinkler Problem: How does a sprinkler running in reverse work? Through a series of experiments, a team of mathematicians has figured out ...

Problem-solving therapy (PST) helps individuals manage stress by breaking down challenges into practical, manageable steps. The aim of the therapy is to help people cope more confidently with ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

Researchers are advancing large language models (LLMs) to tackle complex physics reasoning, from high school problems to advanced simulations. Techniques like reinforcement learning with human-AI ...

Researchers at Google have created an algorithm that can translate complex physical problems into the language of quantum mechanics, which could make quantum computers able to tackle more tasks. IBM’s ...

From structured frameworks to AI-powered feedback, new research is transforming how students approach physics problems. Studies show that expert-like strategies, collaboration, and avoiding common ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ...
